Dandy Days in Beanotown

Post by Digifiend »

Does anyone know the dates that Dandy Days in Beanotown ran in the Dandy? The strip existed solely to promote Beanotown Racing, so surely it can't have run from 2002 through to the 2004 relaunch as the Wikipedia page for the video game claims. Especially when the game only launched in November 2003.

From memory, the issues I have with the strip in are all from 2003.

Thanks, my guess would be that it ended just after the game came out. I've removed the dates and the bit about the 2004 revamp (which evidently is irrelevant) from that article. If anyone does know the exact dates, I intend to add that info to the article. But for now, the false info has been removed.

I'm aware of who drew it, and it's already mentioned on the Wikipedia page in my first post here, but thanks anyway. It's the dates I'm looking for.
